About 70-80 % of People in Peru speak Spanish. English isn't very common in Peru but it is spoken by a few people. Spanish wasn't the first language to be spoken in Peru. Quechua was the first official language in Peru. It was maybe even spoken by the Indigenous people. In 1925 Quechua was made an official language in Peru.

 90% of the people in Peru are Roman Catholic.  There is a very small protestant population.  There are also people in Peru who are part of a Christianity religion.  Children in Peru have Godparents.  They call their Godparents Compadres.  Godchildren call their Godfather Padrino and their Godmother Madrina.  A child might have several sets of Godparents (Compadres) throughout there lives.  Godparents (Compadres) are meant to give a good start to there Godchildren.  

 Peru's government is different from ours. Peru has a Representative Democracy.  They have two vice presidents, unlike the united states who only has one.  Their president has a five year term.  The flag of Peru has two bands of red and one band of white in the middle.  White stands for peace and justice and red stands for blood that was shed for those who fought for Peru's independence from Spain.  

      People in Peru eat many different kinds of food. In fact they have the most variety of foods in South America. They eat food of their country and then they eat food that we eat too. For example, some food that they eat from their own country are things called Besitos ( " Little Kisses"). Another food that they eat from their country is called Aguacates Relleno's. It is mostly made out of avocado. It's kind of like the guacamole that we eat in the United States. Some food that they eat that we eat in our country are peppers, potatoes, and grains. Those are only just a few but,  there's probably are a lot more.

      Men and Women in Peru normally wear specific things. So you probably could walk around and see women wearing a lot of the same things and see men wearing a lot of the same things. Some people in Peru will wear western dress which you would think was unusual for Peru but apparently it's not. More frequently worn clothes would be traditional clothing.  Some things used to make the clothes that people wear are Sheep's wool and silk. Some of the men's clothing is pants and shirts which would usually be counted as European clothing. The men's shirts are called Kutuns which definitely is not what we call them here in the United States. The pants are called pantalones which would usually be made out of hand woven wool cloth of one color, usually black. Men would also wear something called a bayeta which is a vest or a waist coat, sometimes they were worn over a shirt. Men also wear brimmed hats called monertas which weren't usually made out of the things the shirts were made out of. Women wear the same things as men but sometimes they will wear different things. Women sometimes wear skirts called Pollera's. Usually they will be black but sometimes women will make them pink, yellow, navy blue, or sometimes even orange. Women will wear sacos which are short little jackets. They are kind of like things we have in the United States  but they probably use different materials. One other thing that women wear that are different then men are  mantas. Mantas are worn by a lot of women. Mantas are rectangular or square pieces of hand woven cloth which could be used for a whole bunch of different things.
